A Story About Robert

Last June, Robert Nichols of Waterville was playing a round of golf, just like he had done hundreds of times before. But something was different this time. When he got to the fifth hole, his chest began to hurt, and he just wasn’t feeling well. Robert was having a heart attack.

(Bangor, Maine) – From Paddington to Pooh, we all know teddy bears get sick, too. Whether it’s getting your hand stuck in a honey jar, or having an upset stomach from eating

way too much marmalade, teddy bears like to know that their best friends will help find high-quality care with remarkable doctors.

On Saturday, January 20, from 1-4 pm, children, families, and of course, teddy bears, are invited to take part in a Teddy Bear Clinic at the Maine Discovery Museum, in partnership with Eastern Maine Medical Center. Children can bring their stuffing-filled friend for a check-up with Colette Sabbagh, MD, from Eastern Maine Medical Center’s Pediatric Primary Care, who will help create a course of care for the animals that will be quite bearable.

Also, after getting your bear treated and receiving a goodie bag, stick around to take part in these family friendly activities:

Follow the Germ Trail through the museum

Play in the Doctor’s Office

Participate in face painting

Sample healthy snacks

The Teddy Bear Clinic is included with admission to the museum.
